For the past eight years, Alice in Chains vocalist/guitarist Jerry Cantrell and bassist Mike Inez have hosted the "Alice In Chains & Friends Fantasy Football League & Auction", donating a spectacular collection of signed musical instruments, memorabilia and experiences for an online auction to benefit organizations like Music For Relief and MusiCares. In recent years, they've donated proceeds from the auction to provide protective gear and training for workers assisting with the Ebola Prevention Initiative and contributed funds to MusiCares's health and human services programs.
Each year's charity initiatives are determined by the League's reigning champion. This year's champion is Jerry Cantrell and he's announced that proceeds from this year's auction will be split between a donation to MusiCares in Chris Cornell's name and a donation to Music For Relief in Chester Bennington's name. The auction will run from August 14 through August 24.
League participants include Cantrell, Inez, GUNS N' ROSES' Duff McKagan, TV sports host Rich Eisen, actor Michael Rapaport, PANTERA's Vinnie Paul Abbott, ANTHRAX's Scott Ian, NFL.com's fantasy football columnist Michael Fabiano, former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew and GASLIGHT ANTHEM's Benny Horowitz. The 2017 season draft will broadcast live on September 5 on SiriusXM's "Fantasy Sports Radio", hosted by John Hansen and Bob Harris.
Among the items up for auction is a guitar lesson with Jerry Cantrell, a bass guitar signed by the members of GUNS N' ROSES, a guitar signed by DEFTONES, a pinstripe Viking guitar signed by Zakk Wylde, a football signed by members of the NFL Hall Of Fame, a football signed by 2017 Hall of Fame inductee Kurt Warner and more.

Okay seriously people stop body shaming its not cool. So what if Jerry gained weight or got older. That is not what this video is about. This is about Chris and Chester and suicide and its very sad. People should focus on their music and level of talent instead. Jerry and Mike are pretty cool guys for doing this.

Jerry- "I'm an alcoholic". It takes a huge amount of courage to admit that, and he did it, and has stayed sober.
-
Cantrell really is a good dude.

Damn....Jerry has been through the death of his mother, Layne Staley, Mike Starr, Andrew Wood, Kurt Cobain, Mia Zapata, Kristin Pfaff, and now Chris Cornell. They've come to snuff the Rooster....but he ain't gonna die!!!!
-
Jerry has watched all his friends die..I totally dig why he's an alcoholic.He still walks among us. I started to cry when he said he was an alcoholic..I'm one too.

Its hard to think Cantrel is literally one of the last surviving grunge singers around. Stayleys gone Cobains gone Cornells gone Benningtons gone Weilands gone An era that cannot be touched honestly. The rawness and realness of it wasnt just an act and thats what will always make it so special.
-
Jerry Cantrell is my hero. How anyone could have survived in that scene is incredible.

"go to Bed" that makes sense to an alcholic whos been sober for 4 years. Thanks guys

The more I know about Mr Cantrell the more respect I gain. He has become a real inspiration as of late for me - I picked up the guitar once again because of him.

Jerry is just awesome man.

I often thank God that we still have Jerry Cantrell in the world.

How strong and stoic of Jerry and Mike to be able to sit there and honesty express themselves and their pain.
